Under existing law, a single statewide wireless E-911 charge is paid into a fund administered by the Commercial Radio Service Board and distributed, in part, to local emergency communication districts. Wireline 911 charges are set and collected by each communications district for operation of the district and vary by district.
This bill would create a statewide E-911 Board to replace the existing Commercial Mobile Radio Service Board. This bill would provide that the board would establish and collect a single statewide emergency telephone service charge to be paid into an E-911 Fund replacing all other existing wireline and wireless E-911 charges. This bill would provide new procedures for the collection of the emergency service charge from prepaid wireless consumers at the point of sale.
This bill would provide for the distribution of funds to local communications districts and commercial mobile radio service providers.
This bill would provide guidelines for commercial mobile radio service providers to receive reimbursement for the costs associated with implementing Phase II enhanced E-911 compliance and for other expenses related to providing E-911 service.
This bill would create a Permanent Oversight Commission on 911 and would provide for the duties of the commission.
